Week 11 | Food on Film

Reflection After showing the rough cut to my teacher, I realized we can do better about the structure.

Because the image of chewy food is hard to describe, a sound effect of chewing food is especially important in this episode. With doing that, the audiences will realise how chewy the…

Week 7 | Food on Film

Pitch Feedback Reflection There were two suggestions that came out from the pitch: Change the name “what is authentic Chinese food” into “authentic Chinese food”, because that way it would make the video much more flexible and talk more around the topic such as “is it really important to keep authenticity” “why the food nowadays…

Week 6 | Food on Film

According to Hughes (2013), there are four phrases that using images with no words in a poetry way, including sense, feeling, tone and intention.

Week 5 | Food on Film

Interviews and vox pox Exercise Reflection While doing the interview in class, we went out and grabbed a stranger who is a “talker” and asked the question about the restaurant “Lentil of Anything”.
